America's Judicial Crisis

Want to know how bad our current judicial crisis is? Here are the facts:

- Obama's judicial nominees are now waiting an average of four times longer than Bush's nominees just to reach a vote in the Senate, creating a historic vacancy crisis in the federal courts.

- Under Obama, the average wait has been 93 days for a nominee to be confirmed. (At this point in Bush’s presidency, the average district court nominee waited just 22 days after committee approval for a vote from the full Senate.)

- During the Obama presidency “judicial emergencies” declared by the U.S. Courts have soared from 20 to 35 and the vacancy rate has been kept at an all-time high.

- 160 million Americans live in districts or circuits with at least one judicial vacancy. Link

Did the Democrats do this while Bush was in office? No way.

Both parties are NOT the same.
